Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Enlargement Through Service: Annual Sermon, Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions As the Apostle himself had been. Coming into living personal contact with the living Christ had enlarged his heart, opened his lips, set his life in another key and made him the great missionary to the Gentiles. In himself he was an illustration of that to which his nation was called - called in Abraham and in every great person and great event afterwards, "to be a light to lighten the Gentiles," that was Israel´s glory. "In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed," is the first recorded promise given him who among Jews and Christians bears the name of "the father of the faithful." National life realizes itself to the full in great individuals like Washington and Lincoln in America, Gladstone and Tennyson in England, Cavour and Leonardo in Italy, Thiers, Bossuet and Fenelon in France, Castelar, Murillo and Cervantes in Spain, Kant, Hegel and Bismarck in Germany. According to the tone and quality of the supreme individual, so we may judge of the heart of the nation. We may infer of what the nation is capable. The best apple on the tree, not the worst, indicates what under favorable conditions of climate and soil, the tree can do. A degenerate cannot fairly indicate the possibilities of manhood. That to which the Hebrew nation was called is more clearly seen in Paul than in Rothschild. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
